[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend for Android and Livetv

Mon Aug 20 19:49:56 UTC 2012

wait, I don't need apache installed do I ?  or is http included in the
frontend..
also, I can see on the actual server the file is being created, and is
filling up... stream##.mpg is 0byte and the one the backend is saying being
accessed and stream##+1.mpg is the real stream growing in size.   Like I
said, the backend is fine, but I will try some more later when I get chance.
thanks.
